Welcome!

Please understand that this website is not affiliated with any of the perfume companies written about here in any way, it is only a reference page and repository of information for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. One of the goals of this website is to show the present owners of the various perfumes and cologne brands that are featured here how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances! Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the company brand might see it.

Parfumerie Rafin

Company seems to have been taken over by Georges Moehr of Parfumerie Moehr of Monte-Carlo by the 1940s.

Created a perfume in 1925, Eau de George Sand, Pour la Toilette et le Mouchoir. “Eau de George Sand” won a medal of honor in 1859 as noted in L'Opinion Nationale. . Pleased with the scented tribute, the author wrote 'The result is very light, and very distinguished, very salutory for people like me who resist perfumes that are too strong.' Rafin, recognizing the success he had with the illustrious writer, sent her a whole box of perfumes, every year on the same day of the year. In a family celebration, bottles were distributed by hand puppets by the house staff.

The perfume bottles for Caprice de Femme came in both green and black crystal trimmed with gilding and were manufactured by C. Depinoix et Fils.
